The 2008 movie version of Speed Racer is a trip and a favorite of many of our cast members. Bridget, Noah, Richard, Thad, and I discuss how the overly-saturated visual chaos and splendor of this movie can be translated into gaming fodder. From civilization building games that explore the cost of building the tracks used in the m...

Thank you for supporting the RPPR Patreon.
Take an obscure 1973 movie about hobos riding trains and a murderous train conductor who kills them and then imagine Zach Snyder remaking it. That's the premise of our game.

I enjoyed running the scenario, The Manor, so much that I ran it again for Tom, Aaron, and Shaun. This is an experiment to see if you like hearing the same scenario with different groups. Let me know what you think.

Netflix released Reboot: The Guardian Code, a new series based on the cult classic 90s CGI cartoon. Renee, Noah, Aaron, and I talk about the new series and how to gameify it. Who needs acting when you can just randomly pick your emotions?
